Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr.Satan" data-source="post: 5348398" data-attributes="member: 92340">The following is actually my creation. Of the previous only Abnormality [Extra Eyes] was my creation. I have a thing about abnormalities. I've been considering doing a whole bunch of them just for fun. I realize that the following abnormality isn't really all that abnormal from common perspective. However, the idea of a greedy dwarven demigod mutating into a dragon is just appealing to me.It's actually balanced as far as rules go. It's less powerful than polymorph. Much less. But it has that permanency polymorph lacks. Most of the abilities are subsumed by the various divine templates, but it's potent as an esoteric ability.                          <style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>  Abnormality [Draconic] (Ex)  Your manifestation is draconic.  Prerequisites: Con 40 (or Cha 40 for those with no Con score).  Benefit: You gain the Dragon type. Your size is unchanged.  Your Hit Dice become d12s.  You become semi-bipedal. All your statistics, except your speed, are bipedally based.  Your base land speed is bipedally or quadrupedally based (freely chosen from moment to moment).  Your remaining speeds are quadrupedally based (except, when mimicking bipeds).  You gain the physical attacks of a dragon. Your tail has 2x your normal reach.  You gain the Blindsense and Keen Senses of a dragon.  You gain the Frightful Presence feat.  Special: You don't acquire wings or a fly speed by virtue of this ability.  Your manifestation retains any desirable traits.  About the force field ability...I always found it useful...until it kept getting negated in physical combat. It was useful for defending against non-damaging touch attacks (ranged or otherwise) that had various effects. It was also useful against attacks from mortals. Unfortunately, that's about where it's usefulness ended.One thing about the divinities in Ascension that kinda bothered me was their seeming lack of sensory type abilities and their seeming lack of control over their own Godly Realms. One could imagine that more magical divinities would have more power over their realms via spells and such, but in Deities and Demigods, extrasensory abilities and the ability to control one's divine realm were built in features. While overall the divinities in Ascension are a vast improvement over divinities in Deities and Demigods, they seemed to be lacking some basic fundamental abilities that should be common to all beings possessed of a divine realm. Such as the ability to control portals, shape the environment as they see fit, alter the way magic works in their realm, etc. The also need some sort of inherent Telepathy or ability to project their voice throughout their aura. </blockquote>
